access specific site on different port via webpage

[npereira]

Hi all,

{please move topic to proper forum if this is not the place for this}

was trying to find a way to imbed a URL (on a specific Port liek www.mydomain.com:8000) via a webpage. I tried with IFRAME's but it's not working. The network here block all traffic on anything but 80, 21, 443...

My server @ home is on port 8000 (cause ISP blocks port 80) and I need access to it.

Is it possible to imbed port specific URL via a webpage?

Thanks

Short answer, no. The HTTP protocol and any associated security settings cannot be manipulated via JavaScript or HTML. Talk to your ISP or network administrator.

Move your home server to port 21 or one of the others allowed where you are and then use "21" in place of the "8000" that you are using, now. Make sure that you don't already have something else running at home on port 21.

21 is a reserved port for FTP, I'm not sure if that would be possible.

If you need to access your home server though, you could use a service such as www.proxify.com.

Another alternative would be to use a remote connection to your PC, using VNC (http://www.realvnc.com) or www.logmein.com. You wouldn't need a server at all then, you could just control your home PC directly and email anything you need to yourself.

Another option would be if you could setup a VPN (virtual private network) tunnel so that your home PC could connect to the network where you work from home, then just leave your PC connected and files can be shared bewteen your work and home as if they were on the same network.
